  • Title: [Transluminal esophagoplasty (TE)].
    Author: Simonetti G, Meloni GB, Urigo F, Canalis GC, Tomiselli A, Trignano M, Bresadola F.
    Journal: Radiol Med; 1985 Oct; 71(10):649-56. PubMed ID: 4089246.
    Abstract:
    The authors analyze their experience on 9 cases of esophageal stenosis dilated by "Grüntzig" type balloon catheter under fluoroscopic examination (transluminal esophagus plastica: TE). This procedure also allows dilatation of severe narrowing, offering distinct advantages represented by: low risk, easy performance, good tolerance, reduction or disappearance of disphagia. Esophageal perforation is possible, though it never appeared in author's experience.
